Saelyn was sitting in the Tar Valon Square, meditating and staring into the fountain. Cordilia and Fyra come up and suggest going on a fishing trip!

The Forest Thickens
The verdant forest spreads out in all directions, a green blanket stretched
across the Pattern. Looming trunks of paperbark and leatherleaf stretch
their branches upwards as if trying to catch clouds. The ground is dark and
fertile, the loamy scent of the rich soil hanging in the air. The muffled
roar of churning water drifts through the tangled briars to the east.

Above the Rapids
The water swirls violently, cupped in jagged fingers of crumbling granite.
The river continues to the south west, its spume crashing violently against
enormous boulders of flint, the jagged teeth of the river gnashing,
grinding and spitting plumes of white froth up into the overhanging
branches. The roaring of the rapids drowns out all other sound, the liquid
voice of the forest screaming a howl of pain and outrage.

On the River
The thick, muddy river widens, flowing slowly around a sandy island. The
banks are heavy clay, clumps of reeds stretching up from the shallows. The
water gurgles, roiling and churning as it flows under the overarching
branches of the forest, fingers of paperbark caressing the river. Long
strings of dirty green weed stretch out lazily beneath the surface,
shielding flickering silver minnows from the cruel eyes of predators.

On Clear Waters
The turbulent, muddy flow from the south empties into a wide basin, slowing
the current and allowing the sediment to sink to the bottom. The waters of
the river are clear and cool as crystal. Shimmering round stones of all
hues tumble over the fine silt of the riverbed, small roe darting amongst
them in search of food. Larger brown fish swim lazily against the current,
hanging in place with an occasional indolent flick of their tails.
